Tetuan III (From the For Meyer Schapiro Portfolio)

This artwork is from a portfolio of original prints published in recognition of Meyer Schapiro (1904-1996), a distinguished art historian who was very much appreciated by major contemporary artists of his day. In 1974, a committee was formed to establish a Chair in Art History at Columbia University in Schapiro\u27s honor. The portfolio, published in an edition of 100, was produced to raise funds to support the Chair. UND’s set of portfolio prints are numbered 71/100. By placing alternating stripes of split-complementaries (red and blue) in close proximity to each other, Stella\u27s work induces a color vibration, which is characteristic of Op Art. Critic Clement Greenburg, however, described Stella\u27s style from this period as post-painterly abstraction .
